Dad, do you think you could make something for me?
Guess what my Dad made!
Some lengths of wood, a CD, some nuts and bolts and some dowel – but put it all together and look at what you’ve got! It’s a yarn swift!
What is a yarn swift, I hear you ask? It’s a very handy gadget that helps you to wind yarn from a skein into a ball. No longer will I have to press mr thornberry into service to hold the skein – I pop it onto the swift and it spins smoothly and speedily as I wind. Fantastic! The directions came from this tutorial. The poplar came from Dad’s wood stash. Stashing clearly runs in the family – you never know just what you’ll need when! Now I need to delve into my stash to make a bag to keep the swift in when it’s unassembled. Thanks so much Dad for making this for me.
That’s fab!!
Yeah for swifts … that was my very first one, too!! Aren’t handy dads awesome. =)

Oh to have a “dad”
Isn’t he clever!
I wish he would make one for me!!!!
Lucky girl, it seems craftiness runs in the family
I am always asking my dad to make things for me too. Comes in handy having a handy dad!
